I Appreciate...

I appreciate...

the gift of silence among relationships that is not awkward but conveys genuine presence with one another.

witnessing the warm embrace of those who have long been a part. 

the opportunity to listen to rich stories. 

glimpses of the sun peaking out after a trail of long frigid winter days. 

authentic laughter. 

those who simply know me, no explanation required.

the power of the Lord who weaves all things together for an overarching story of his people. 

peanut butter, bananas, and eggs. 

differences in personality. 

looking back on difficult moments and trusting that it was only through God's grace I am where I am today.

surprises that serve as little reminders someone is thinking about you.
